THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

Another 2025 book we really love: @joshrountree.bsky.social 's Summer in the House of the Departed! #BookSky #Horror #GhostStories

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Good morning Womble!! First up this morning, excited to dive into @tadethompson.bsky.social "The Apologists" from Clarkesworld!! Then it's book 5 in a #StarTrek series, "The Empty Chair" Happy reading!!! #BookSky 📚🪐💙 #SciFiSky clarkesworldmagazine.com/thompson_11_...

What have been your don't-miss 2025 books? Here's one that you might have missed at ArmadilloCon when all the copies flew out of the dealers room! This one includes stories by a bunch of people we like: Mark Finn, A. Lee Martinez, Adrian Simmons, and more! #FanFavorite #amreading #giftideas

John Picacio's talk about The Invisible Parade at ArmadilloCon 2025 was one of this year's highlights. This is a gorgeous amazing book, with so much heart. #FanFavorite #giftidea #awards

These are so heavy. I assume it’s all the history? Maybe the blood.

“Inventing the Renaissance” is a history of histories of this (not so) golden age. Much of making history is simply adding new POVs to the braid as historians ask new & more diverse questions w/ each generation. I hope you’ll enjoy my effort to show the process at work! 25/25 https://buff.ly/4j6qkoS
